FOR THE FREE TRESS.
TO THE LADIES OF TARDdRO.
My beauteous friends, farewell! awhile,
And yet I would not leave thee;
l$ut ere we part, give me thy smite)
And then it will not grieve mc.
Oh! I have fondly woo'd thy charms,
While all around was wildncss;
Sought thee,where wealth thy pow'r disarms,
But yet I knew thy mildness.
Yet why thy fascinations dear,
When all my soul was sadness?
Just tell me, you've one faithful tear,
'Twill save my soul from madness.
For I have known, how bright's the scene,
In early life I cherish'd;
But yet I know, ivhat since has been!
For those bright scenes have perish'd!
And I have thought, that my sad heart, f
Hath full atonement given;
Its faults are o'er, bid them depart,
And say Hope, points to Heaven.

TO-DAY AND TOMORROW.
To-day, man lives in pleasure, wealth aftd
pride;
To-morrow, i cor, of life itself denied.
To-day, lays plans of many years to come;
To-morrow, sinks into the silent tomb.
To-day, his food is dress'd in dainty forms;
To-morrow, is himself a feast fcr worms.
To-day. he's clad in gaudy rich array;
To-morrow, shrouded for a bed ef clay.
To-day, enjoys his halls, built to his mind;
To-morrow, in a coffin is confin'd. "
To-lay he floats on honor's lofty wave;
To-morrow, leaves his titles for a grave.
To-day, his beauteous visage we control;
To-morrow, loathsome to the eyes of all.
To-day, he has delusive dreams of Heaven;
I o-morrow, cries too late, to be forgiven.
To-day, he lives in hopes, as light as air;
To-morrow, dies in anguish and despair.

Horses. On Friday nfcht, 8th
ult. a stable in Philadelphia took
New-York Negroes. The N.
York Enquirer of the 20th ultimo,
contains the following:
Blacks. Yesterday the Park
was crowded with negroes, hover
ing around the Police-office and
City-hall. It seems that a family
of colored people was claimed by
their owners in Virginia, and the
Manumission Society stepped for
ward to prevent their being sent
home, but the Magistrates on hav
ing full testimony before them de
clined setting them free. When
the negroes "without were inten
tionally informed of the fact, they
became outrageous and threaten
ed to take the lives of those con
cerned. Several of the officers
wrere roughly handled; a Virginia
gentleman had his nose broke; we
are told a gentleman narrowlv es
caped being killed with a poniard,
and several persons who claimed
the family were obliged to retreat
by the back way.
